Although this is Issue #689, we're calling this the big six-oh edition.
That's because our circulation has just passed 60,000.
But there's another reason for the 60 theme - and one close to the hearts of all those who work at Forkliftaction.com. This week marks the 60th birthday of our founder, Michael Leu.
Michael understands our readers better than most because he founded the portal in 2000 after being in the forklift industry for 20 years and recognising the need for good quality materials handling news and information.
We're sure you join us in wishing Michael a very happy 60th.
